O'Reilly: The media is "blatantly partisan and dishonest intellectually"

On the March 28th edition of The Radio Factor, Bill O'Reilly described the American media as "blatantly partisan and dishonest intellectually."

O'REILLY: Surely, surely, every intelligent person has to say, "You gotta stop the illegal immigration." That's the bottom line. And you know our press does not care. Once again, just like with the kids, abusing the kids, MIA. No solutions, and anybody who puts forth a solution, particularly if it is an effective solution, is a racist. And that's our American press. I think the American press -- and I know you've heard me say this -- is the most damaging institution in the country today because it's so blatantly partisan and dishonest intellectually. No pressure put upon anybody to solve any problem they don't like. God help you, though, if you don't give welfare and -- and, you know, payments to everybody who comes into the country, legally or illegally. God help you if you don't do that.

But Bill is not referring to conservative media such as himself. On The O'Reilly Factor of the same day:

O'REILLY: I'm glad you're on my side, but I want everyone to know this is a struggle here. The defense attorneys buy politicians off, especially in small states like Vermont where they give a lot of money, and the liberal media working against Jessica's Law for ideological, crazy, nutty, far-left, insane reasons. And the folks have gotta know who the forces of darkness are.

In Keith Olbermann's words, "If that's true, Bill O, the American media is now partisan and intellectually dishonest, your work here is done. We've accomplished what you've set out to do." Olbermann named O'Reilly as his "Worst Person in the World" twice on the 30th, once for his comments about the American media, and again for claiming that Cardinal Mahony favors immigration to help church attendance.
